VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps acquired striker Kei Kamara on Sunday in a trade with the New England Revolution.

New England gets Vancouver's 2019 natural first round SuperDraft pick and a conditional 2020 second round SuperDraft selection in return.

Kamara, who is under contract through 2018, joins 23-year-old Venezuelan striker Anthony Blondell as new players on the Whitecaps front line.

A proven MLS goalscorer, Kamara will officially be added to the club's roster pending receipt of his international transfer certificate, Canadian work permit, and visa. He will occupy a Designated Player roster slot and is a domestic player as an American citizen.

Kamara has 103 goals and 39 assists in 298 appearances over 11 Major League Soccer seasons, including playoffs.

He's 10th all-time in MLS regular-season goals with 98, second among active players behind only Chris Wondolowski.

If Kamara is re-assigned to another MLS team prior to the 2018 roster freeze, the conditional 2020 second round SuperDraft pick would become Vancouver's natural first round selection. In addition, should Vancouver permanently transfer Kamara outside of MLS prior to the 2018 roster freeze, New England and Vancouver will evenly split the clubs' share of the transfer proceeds.
